Call it SANITY_CHECKING. Have it be a number. 0 == RELEASE, 1 == DEVELOPMENT, 2 == development of risky things, etc. It would default to 1 in -current and 0 in -stable and for all releases. I'm not sure what the '2' level would actually do, but this whole discussion reminded me of the -fblah -fbaz vs -O2 args to gcc, and thought it profitable to do things the same way. Maybe we never have a '2' level, but it gives us that option. It also dodges the issue of naming the various levels :-) Set it in /etc/defaults/make.conf and away you go.
